Cityscape and Beach

Hi there! Dropping in quickly to add a couple of cards to a couple of challenges.
I've tried to catch up with Kathy Racoosin's, The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring challenge but so far have failed miserably. I did, however, manage to color this little VW from Essentials by Ellen for Muse Christmas Visions. I was inspired by the always brilliant Cornelia (see her amazing card below...it'll make your heart stop, but not permanently) who actually got her inspiration from a shopping bag. I'm not as talented as her so I tried a super moon over some city streets. The building dies are from Hero Arts.
I just got this die and sentiment from Hero Arts and had to use it pronto. They're part of June's card kit and add-ons which I immediately fell in love with. Alchohol inked a summery, beachy background and used cherry wood veneer for the die cut overlay. Couldn't bring myself to cover up any of that goodness  so used vellum to emboss the sentiment with the kit's sand powder. Very simple but it made me happy. Adding it the A Blog Named Hero's current challenge.
  
Have a wonderful, restful weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the men out there doing the hardest job, ever.

  2. From the city to the beach, you've rocked both these designs, Coni! I really got a kick out of seeing the Bug driving through the city with the tree on top, and under a full moon, too! And your beach scene looks like an inlaid wood work of art! Winner!! Hugs, Darnell

  6. Your shimmery, shiny, full moon is gorgeous over the city scene, Coni ... lighting up that cute, tree carrying bug! What a fabulous beach scene ... that gently lapping water is just so inviting in this little haven of calm! Hugs, Anita :)
